That night, MNHHS plays Hopkins County Central, with the freshman game starting at 5:30 p.m. Central’s team has been invited to take part, and there will be a competition to see which team’s fans raise the most money.

All teams will be wearing pink during the games. Afterwards, organizers hope to get a photo of both teams with any breast cancer survivors in attendance.

Anyone with a personal connection to the disease is invited to attend, wear pink, and support a great cause. Funds raised will go to The Side-Out Foundation, a support and advocacy organization established in 2004 to unite volleyball players and coaches to work toward the common goal of furthering breast cancer awareness, education and patient services.
